Abstract: Experimental thermal conductivity values have
been obtained in the region of the solid/liquid phase
change for C24H50 (n-tetracozane) a representative of the
n-alkanes at the atmospheric pressure and the temperature
range of 312.85-325.16 k and temperature logs for
mixtures of n-alkanes (paraffin) from C19H40 (nnonadecane)
to C35H72 (pentatriacontane) during melting
(296.60-359.59 k) and crystallizing (317.25-349.45 k)
using the transient hot wire method. Transition
temperatures have been determined: solid state/solid state
(triclinic-rhombic transformation) at 315.65 k, solid
state/solid state (rhombic-hexagonal transformation) at
316.95 k and solid state/liquid at 322.34 k.
